Angus MacDuff Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 LOL, good one @Shaftoe! Folks, never look for a tight schedule from GL. They are a small group and there is always something that crops up and generates a delay. They do very good work for those of us who enjoy these games, but one thing it is not...is fast.

Cptbarney Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Guess smoll patch will arrive tommorrow, by this chance or wednesday. Most of been some last min problems that cropped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiltedKey Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) The nerve of him delaying an alpha patch for several days! Shameful display! Dishonorable! I’d rather this game be delayed months than rushed out early, buggy, and incomplete. I want the public to see this game polished, and if it takes until the winter, then it does. We bought this game in this state and have seen it improve drastically and to test it for this reason! We can wait. We’re just excited! I don’t think ANY of us are concerned that this game is gonna be suddenly abandoned. The sheer transparency and responses from Nick and the rest of the team prove that. Take your time, Darth. I’ve played every single one of your Total War mods; I know what quality you can do. And you’ve proven it again with this game. Seriously, your AI in your mods were... frightful at times.

skg02 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 On 3/5/2020 at 9:40 AM, Nick Thomadis said: Hello Admirals, We would like to share information about the upcoming major update of Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts. Here is what is included: Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts Alpha-5SPECIAL NEW FEATURES - Shells that seem to follow targets during evasive maneuvers: It should be completely fixed and more improvements will follow to address any related issue. Ramming damage: Finally, ships receive damage when they collide with each other. There is not a special visual effect yet but you will hear a distinctive sound effect after the collision. Known issues of inconsistent ramming damage will be addressed in a next update. (Note: Damage will happen against hostile ships only). SHIP DESIGNER IMPROVEMENTS Operational Range is locked in “Medium” for Naval Academy (it will work fully in campaign). The player will no longer exploit the system by setting it at minimum range and create overpowered ships versus the AI. BALANCES/COMBAT IMPROVEMENT Torpedoes can now cause ammo detonation, if they penetrate the hull. Torpedoes of large diameter will be extremely dangerous, even to large and well protected battleships. Evasive maneuvers - so does this mean that hits now are not precalculated as I think Steeltrap indicated elsewhere and chasing the splash is now possible? Now it works like this: system calculates an aim point based on target behavior at point of system targeting, short delay to when guns actually fire, probability model determines where shells actually land with respect to the targeting aim point, a hit occurs if where the shells actually land coincide with where the target ship actually is where/when shells land? Ramming - can imagine there's a code reason why friendly ships can't damage each other by collison now - but friendly ships should damage each other if they collide at some point - especially for campaign. Historically this happened a good deal especially during evasive maneuvers, Mikuma/Mogami for example, and really affect ship speed - bad news in a battle. For the campaign - this could mean losing a key ships availability right when its needed. Operational Range - have been designing mine with medium-long range anyway to train for campaign, can live with this, but how hard to just allow medium and up? Torpedoes - to the extensive discussion above - how does the system determine if a hull is penetrated by torpedo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path finding is terrible leading to many ships colliding even when you give the ships a heading at the start of a battle. Also AI controlled ships like to barge any units that cause an obstruction, especially destroyers sending it through a battleship division. its best to smug realism to avoid massive frustration of damaging your own ships during the campaign due to circumstances that are most likely not the player's fault. Now this isn't even mentioning the hostile force maybe committing mass suicide in a bid to change formation to begin their attack. Now that would make battles a lot less interesting, Especially when a major fleet battle turns into picking off stragglers before a shot is even fired. I believe this is the right decision from a game play standpoint to relieve stress during complicated battles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree that the current pathfinding would have to be fixed before implementing collisions between friendly ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll patiently wait, but here: How many people seriously think they were able to make "overpowered ships" versus the AI in the recent scenarios?
